WORLD MALARIA DAY: IN THE FACE OF COVID-19, URGENT OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE LIVES FROM MALARIA AND PROTECT HEALTH CAPACITY

Countries are being urged to quickly supply and ensure safe delivery of vital malaria prevention and control interventions could save as many as 400,000 lives this year. Without these, the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to a surge in malaria cases and a doubling of malaria deaths this year.

Now, we’re mobilizing the political commitment, funding, and innovation required to achieve what would be one of the greatest humanitarian accomplishments – ending malaria within our generation.

This progress has unlocked immeasurable human potential, improved the health of hundreds of millions of people and will save and improve lives for generations to come.
